[@mannerni8999]

I adopted my mice from a lady on pets4homes in January. I did quite a bit of digging and asked her a ton of questions before deciding to adopt from her. she was downsizing her group from 9 mice to 5 so I adopted all 4 mice from her after some discussion with family. they were living in an ikea detolf and she gave me a ton of information about them individually and was happy to send me as many photos or information as I needed/wanted and she was asking me for a ton of photos of my setup and how much I knew about mouse care too so she really wanted them to go to somewhere good. unfortunately they are a little older at about a year and a half old and one recently passed away due to a seizure but otherwise they were all lovely, of course the seizure was no fault of the previous owner since she had no previous health issues prior to this point. so it definitely is possible to adopt from these sites but please be careful, especially when meeting them to pick the animals up and ALWAYS bring someone with you

[@normalocker6659]

[@sophiapebbles]

Thank you for bringing awareness to this! When I first got my rats I did enough research to know not to go to a pet store, but I didn't realise there were so many questionable breeders out there. I got three of mine from a backyard breeder and although I love them and wouldn't be without them, they were so hard to socialise and still, even a year on, are very uncomfortable being handled and scare quite easily. I'm now in contact with a great breeder here on youtube for my next boys which I'll be getting hopefully in a few months time, so yes, thank you for this video and for educating people

[@jacksonns333]

ive found the best way to find rat breeders is to google “ratterys in *your state*” and you should find some facebook pages of breeders. of course, you should go through them all and not just pick one at random. or, you could join some facebook groups and ask them if they know any breeders that are in your area. hope this helps! :)

[@s1ren_exe]

Hey! I have a small question. So I’m fairly new to owning rats, I just got my first girls back in September (their names are basil, bramble, and ivy and I would die for them) and your videos have helped a lot, but I still can’t really tell the difference between them being playful, exited, and scared as a lot of the body language is the same. I know some people say to see if the blue part of their eyes is showing but I can always see the blue part of Ivy’s eyes so that doesn’t really work. Do you have any advice? I really want to play with them more but I’m afraid of scaring them.

Over the night I found out a lot about mice (mainly from your channel, thank you ☺) and what I need to do, but I would like to know if training her and keeping her is going to be harder since she was born in the wild, even though her eyes arent open yet (and tips would help a lot too!)

I have two comments. 1) Some large studies have shown that keeping male littermates together helps promote health in male mice. "Weber et al. (2017) recommended keeping littermates together after weaning to help decrease aggression... Bartolomucci et al. (2002) concluded that keeping laboratory mice in same-sex sibling groups from birth provides the ideal social environment for their welfare." (www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-51674-z). The trick seems to be to retain bedding material but remove soiled substrate when cleaning their cage. It is also recommended to house between 3 and 5 males together with no hides but lots of bedding material for the mice to make natural hides. Enrichment items may cause aggression so items, such as wheels, that only one mouse can use at a time, might cause a problem whereas a climbing gym, ladder, or bridge, that multiple mice can use at the same time, helps reduce aggression. Food should be spread evenly throughout the cage to be foraged. And mice should be kept cold rather than warm so they band together for warmth when sleeping. 2) Some advertisers use terms like "red and white" because most of the public won't know what "pied" or "banded" mean.

[@rowdyrats7035]

So, I have a question regarding mice. I'm planning to get mice this year and I've seen this one ad where someone is giving away a free female mouse with a cage (cage way too small, I wouldn't use it), the ad has been posted several times. I've been thinking, that if the time comes when I have everything ready and the female mouse is still there and if I got her, would it be possible to introduce her to other females? There's not much information on the ad, but I think the mouse could be somewhere around the year. I'm scared that if she's been kept alone for a long time, it would be harder to introduce her to others (I would really like to start with 3 females).

[@rowdyrats7035]

Oh, and a question about pins. What are the payment methods and do you ship to Estonia?

[@Emiology]

She will need introducing to other female mice or a neutered male asap, if that's not something you feel comfortable doing with a mouse that might be a bit trickier I would be tempted to give it a go or maybe leave it to someone who can integrate her with a bit more experience. I ship worldwide with my store! You can either pay via paypal or bank transfer :)

[@rowdyrats7035]

@@Emiology I feel so bad for her and would love to help her, but I'm not experienced with mice yet. At the same time, the mouse care here is pretty bad and people go by the laboratory care standards for them. I'm part of a rodent group in my country and there are hardly any people there who have mice. I feel like someone might just get her for their kid, because it's free with a cage. I have to think about it more, but I've kind of already fallen in love with her, she just seems so sad in that small cage all alone. As for pins, I think I might just get one when the cream ones come out, if I'm fast enough. Thank you! ❤

[@edwinbrown855]

I was curious if you’ve ever thought of adopting show mice? I’m a fancy mouse breeder and I know the UK is one of the best places for responsibly bred healthy mice.

[@Emiology]

Adopting or buying? I've had show mice from breeders before :)

[@edwinbrown855]

Oh okay, I meant buying I guess! I wasn’t aware! I’m obsessed with how beautiful some of the English Show lines can be, in the states we have some healthy lines but we haven’t quite reached the size beauty of English mice quite yet.

[@Emiology]

@@edwinbrown855 Some of the show mice I had had the most beautiful large ears, and some of the varieties out there are stunning. Unfortunately all of the show mice I've had have struggled to get past 1.5 years old, I think the health of them slipped a bit in order to achieve such extremes when it comes to their varieties, which is unfortunate and has slightly put me off getting anymore show mice for the time being, my rescues are just over 2 years old and going stronger than all my show mice who died from a range of tumours and horrible skin conditions :(

[@edwinbrown855]

I think you’re right, there can be a risk there because even though we select for health, genetic diversity can help mask underlying health conditions (it’s called hybrid vigor) so pet store mice are probably the worst because they’re inbred and not bred responsibly but sometimes untracked lines (rescues) aren’t so bad the first generation because the bad genes haven’t been able to be expressed yet due to outcrossing.

what's the benefit of getting mice from a breeder vs just feeder mice?

As an added benefit their life is only better for me adopting them they were just going to be fed to something or euthanized to be frozen anyway.

HI

[@fudgethehamster177]

I've got a question I'd it OK if you buy adoption rats from pets at home or is it just supporting a pet shop I'm guessing it's not 🤔🐀

[@Emiology]

Rats from the adoption section are okay as the money goes to the 'separate' charity. It's still a bit of a grey area as to whether it's the best thing to do, sometimes if they don't sell their rats quick enough they will move them into the adoption section to free up space for new younger rats to go in the store, so in that sense it's allowing more rats to be brought in from the mills and put on the store front, but as far as i'm aware they're not directly profiting from the adoptions.

Have you ever run into an issue of ending up with a pregnant Mouse? I don't know if there's an American thing or not , people not understanding basic biology and keep opposite gender in the same habitat . that's what I was running into when trying to rescue a dwarf hamster.

Nope! I've always sourced my mice from breeders who make sure that doesn't happen. The closest i've ever come to it was getting two mice from a rescue and being told "we can't guarantee they're not pregnant" but it didn't happen :)
